When Religions Become Monsters

When Religions Become Monsters

The world has changed so much and hatred is spreading far and wide. Humanity is going through the worst phase in history. Religions have become monsters.

When a person dies, their main soul is taken to the higher realms by the angels. Other auxiliary souls, if they are alive, stay in the grave. If none of the souls are alive, then at least one soul has to stay in the grave until the Day of Judgement is established. That one soul is the Self (the Nafs).

If you are passing through a cemetery, you may notice that there is a sense of fear from an unknown source. The Self is from the nation of Djinns. It is not completely an ethereal being; its nature is substance. The Self is affected by the cold and hot weather which is why it needs protection. Therefore, we make graves.

Now in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, people have started cremating their dead because it is cheaper than burying them. That is not good because when your body dies and is buried in the grave, the Self remains in your body. If the Self is purified and enlightened, it engages itself in invocation of God and different forms of worship. If it is not purified, then different Djinns (evil spirits) come and stay in that grave.

As long as there is a soul in your body and it is enlightened, no evil spirit will enter your body. If your soul is not enlightened and you don’t have divine energy in your body, then any evil spirit or Djinn can enter your body at any time and stay there. Djinns need protection which is why they seek shelter in bodies, houses, graves and different places.

Similarly, the soul of a religion is spirituality. When the spiritual system in any religion is destroyed, the religion becomes like a body which is vulnerable to forced entry by evil spirits. When the spiritual system in any religion was destroyed, then religion was murdered or made abode by the devil. This is when a religion becomes a monster.

A religion is not just a set of beliefs but also a set of principles from God. You are meant to adopt them and make a society in which everybody is given his and her rights. Self-respect and justice prevail and nobody is physically hurt. Everybody lives in perfect harmony.

God knows about you better than you do because you are God’s creation; he is aware of your nature.

In accordance with your nature, God sends down a set of principles with a messenger or a prophet. You adopt them and enlighten your mind, your soul and your lifestyle.

By adopting those divine principles, you establish a society in which there is no discrimination, tyranny or hatred.

When the spiritual system in the religion is destroyed and becomes subject to amalgamating opinions from human beings, it becomes a monster.

A common man does not leave any impact on the religion by rendering his opinions.

However the opinion of those who are held responsible for promoting and upholding the religious laws impact the religion.

According to a Prophetic Tradition, ‘When a common man makes a mistake, he becomes a sinner. When a mistake is made by a religious scholar then the religion is badly affected.’

A religion becomes a monster when the doctrine of spirituality and methodology of connecting hearts with God vanishes from that religion. Muslims will definitely find it difficult to understand – due to lack of knowledge about their religion – but it is true that Islam has been left with nothing but its name. The Quran has been left with no spiritual grace and benevolence for except the custom of recitation. This is why, Islam which is only 1436 years old, has become a monster today.

The Revolution of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi

Some people are astounded when they hear this coming from a coloured man like myself, who originally comes from Pakistan and  who has been a very strict practitioner of the religion of Islam. They find it almost unbelievable and think, ‘This is too good to be true.’ I want to tell these individuals how this has become a reality.  

How has it become possible for someone with my background to explain that the religion of Islam has also become a monster and that there is nothing left in Islam for except its name and nothing left in the Quran for except of customary recitation?

This would not have been possible had it not been for the sake of the spiritual grace of His Divine Eminence  Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi.

The credit goes to His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi for the fact that He, with spiritual power or His words of wisdom, gave us, the followers of HDE Gohar Shahi, the power of comprehension. With the spiritual concentration of His divine sight, He changed the hearts. He changed our thought process. He showed us the reality and He gave us intuitional understanding of the path and the religion. This power of comprehension is very important. It is not available any where in any book, mosque, temple, church, or country. It is a gift of HDE Gohar Shahi.

With the doctrine of HDE Gohar Shahi, we realised that Islam, Judaism, Christianity or any other religion is just a means to reach God. A religion is not the destination; God is the destination.

Until we met HDE Gohar Shahi, many of us thought that Islam was everything rather than God. Although we never verbalised it, in the back of our minds we always thought, ‘If we are not Muslims, we will never reach God.’ We were so wrong.

So many people reached and loved God even when there was no Islam. If Islam was the only religion which would connect people with God then why did Islam come towards the end of the world? What about the other people who came into this world and never practised Islam – how did they reach God then?

When this sheet of ignorance which was keeping our minds and intellect in the dark was removed with the spiritual concentration of HDE Gohar Shahi’s spiritual sight, I personally felt that a bar had been lifted.

God has created so many religions. If you can reach God following any religion, you are perfectly fine with that religion whether it is Hinduism, Sikhism or any other religion. That was the first barrier which was removed from our intellect and thought process. This was the point when my short-sightedness vanished. Before this, there has been a deadlock of limitations on my intellect and understanding because of which I was about to plunge into extremism.

Extremism

Extremism is when you think, ‘My religion is the best. No one can reach God without my religion, therefore everybody must adopt it – otherwise they are infidels.’

You become an extremist when you have wrong perceptions about your religion.

For example, you become a bad person when you have wrong perceptions about yourself. There are many people who think they are the best and nobody is equal to them. When you think like this, it means you live in a fool’s paradise.  

When you think that your religion is the only truthful religion, everybody else is a non-believer and all other religions are fake, this is a wrong perception. I wonder why most Muslims think that if you are not a Muslim, you are a non-believer. What a silly thought! If you are Christian or Jewish, believe in God and respect your prophet then how are you not a believer?

Those who believe in God may practise any religion; you cannot call them non-believers.

You don’t have to have a religion in order to be a believer. You can be a believer even if you don’t practise or have any religion. But somehow or other, a majority of Muslims perceive that all those individuals who do not believe in Islam are non-believers. This is a misleading concept.

When people who do not know about Islam come to know of this perception of Muslims, they will think this notion has come from the Quran. They don’t know that the Quran never said that.

The Quran has set a principle. There are three points in the eyes of God for you to be believer: you must believe in God, the Day of Judgement and purification. If you believe in these three things, you may believe in any religion – whether you come from Judaism, Christianity or you are a Muslim – in the eyes of God you are a favourite.  

The State of Islam Today

The trouble is that the concurrent ideology of Islam is not from Quran; it consists of sectarianism, creeds and opinions of different religious scholars within Islam. One denomination in Islam will 100% contradict with another denomination in Islam. They are so impatient and intolerant that they cannot coexist in one society. This is why they are killing each other and calling each other non-believers who must die!

The thing is: who do we blame for it? God? People? Who?  

For example, when a set of traffic lights stops working, the government puts up a sign stating, ‘This set of traffic lights on this particular road is irreparable. Please do not use this road anymore.’ If people do not stop going there and continue to use it, when the traffic comes from all directions, cars will collide and people will get killed.

Who is responsible for this? The government said, ‘Don’t use this road.’ They didn’t fix it because they said it was irreparable. If you say, ‘This notification from the government did not reach me, I was never informed,’ [it is still your responsibility]. It was your duty to read the signs. The government will not send a letter to each and every citizen of the country!  

In a similar way, when the spiritual system is destroyed in a religion it is a sign from God, ‘Do not use this religion!’

Statement About the Syria Vote

Statement About the Syria Vote

Messiah Foundation International supports the decision taken by the MPs in the Parliament House in London today to carry out airstrikes against Daesh (ISIS).

The purpose of carrying out these strikes is to destroy the most horrible terrorist group in the world today. These brutal enemies of Islam, enemies of humanity and enemies of the West should be taught a lesson. They should be crushed to a point where they cannot regain their strength.

The area which is currently occupied by Daesh should be freed from these terrorists. All the Syrians who have left their homes and they are now living a miserable life should be returned to their homeland to live there in peace.

The purpose of carrying out these airstrikes is to restore peace, and free the country from terrorists. It is to subsequently form a government by the local people which is wholeheartedly accepted by all members of Syrian society including different fractions of the religion [of Islam] and secular people.

Messiah Foundation International supports airstrikes against ISIS, however it must be noted that the target of doing so will demand from allies to send some ground forces as well. Airstrikes alone will not be sufficient action against ISIS because they have bunkers; they have different sanctuaries. They can hide. You are only wasting money, ammunition and bombs.

Along with these airstrikes, ground military action is inevitably required without which all the hard work carried out by RAF will probably be wasted.

We strongly request the UK Parliament and our MPs to now strengthen the air strikes with the presence of the ground force. That is our understanding.

A thorough action should be taken in order to ensure that the enemy is truly and completely crushed.

The enemy should be crushed in a way that it does not bounce back or hit back. That is very important.

Thank you very much.

Is God More Important than Family in Islam?

Is God More Important than Family in Islam?

Is God More Important than Family in Islam?

I recently had a radio interview. The host was about to ask me, ‘Tell me about this. To a religious person, what is more important: God or his family?’

Journalists have asked terrorists, ‘You go out and blow yourself up. Don’t you have feelings about what will happen to your family?

Their reply is, ‘God is more important to me than my family.’

If [the host of the radio show] had asked me this question, I would have told him: to take care of my family is the commandment of God. This question is irrelevant.

God will never put you in a position where you have to choose one out of the two. Family is one thing and God is another thing. Why would God want me to trouble my family? The same God says, ‘If you take care of your family, I will reward you.’

The answer which is coming from terrorists – that God is more important to them than their family – proves the fact that this mindset is not carved by the teachings of the Quran and Bible. This is a manmade doctrine and these are manmade teachings.

The True Teachings and Character of Prophet Mohammad

A Jewish woman would throw trash on Prophet Mohammad as he would pass by her house every day; but Prophet Mohammad did not stop going through that street. He would walk through the street every day and she would throw trash every day; he would simply smile and leave. One day, when he passed her street, he didn’t see her. So he asked people, ‘Where has she gone?’ He found out that she is ill. He went to her house and asked, ‘How are you doing? May God give you health. I didn’t see you so I got worried. She cried and said, ‘You are a prophet.’

These are the teachings and this is the character of Prophet Mohammad. And on the other hand, [ISIS] is killing Christians and Jews. They don’t represent Islam. They represent evil.

In that society 1450 years ago, Christians, Jews and atheists all had the same culture. The language as the same and their temperament was the same.

On one occasion, in order to give the message of Islam, Prophet Mohammad invited a group of Jews for dinner. They came and one of them was a mischievous person. He said, ‘Mohammad is inviting us for dinner. I will eat all the food and the rest of the guests will be left without food, Prophet Mohammad would feel humiliated.’

He ate a lot but the food never finished. He ate so much that after eating, he was not able to move from him place. Everybody else left and he was still there. He fell asleep in a small room; at night,he wanted to go to the toilet. His stomach was so full that he couldn’t move. Therefore he relieved himself on the bed and he slept in his own faeces for the rest of the night.

Before the sun rose, the Prophet Mohammad came to him and said to him, ‘Let me help you go to the toilet.’ He helped him relieve himself, removed his clothes covered in faeces and gave him new clothes. He said, ‘Don’t worry. You can go home now.’

Then Prophet Mohammad cleaned the room and the faeces himself. By the morning, everything was pristine. Prophet Mohammad didn’t want anybody to laugh at that man so he did not tell [anybody else there]. This was the character of Prophet Mohammad.

All these messengers like Abraham, Moses, Mohammad and Jesus were all of sublime character. They would never teach their followers to take anybody’s life in the name of God because this is not God’s character.

‘God is love.’ This is what the Bible says. The Quran doesn’t say this, but Prophet Mohammad said it.

What does Islam have to do with ISIS?
22nd November 2015|LecturesVideos

What does Islam have to do with ISIS?

Since 9/11, the world has changed. An unprecedented hatred has emerged; this is due to what happened on 9/1, the 7/7 London bombing and then many different places that have been targeted by terrorists. If terrorism strikes in Pakistan or if terrorism causes thousands of people to lose their lives in Africa and Southeast Asia, it doesn’t really leave any significant impact on people.

If a terrorist activity strikes in Europe, then a wave of hatred goes across all different types of Muslims – whether or not they approve of terrorism.

Sufi Muslims have been known to be very compassionate, kind and tolerant. In relation to dealing with members of other religions they have shown themselves to be adaptive, accommodating and harmonious. However, whenever an Islamist carries out an act of terrorism, then even the Sufi Muslims have to suffer the aftermath and the backlashes. This is a tragedy.

These terrorists who kill innocent people cannot be considered as human beings.

But as a retaliation, if somebody in Canada, the United States of America, France, England or anywhere else in the world targets an innocent Sufi Muslim, causing them to die, then this act of killing an innocent is equal to an act being carried out by ISIS.

You have gone down to their level of brutality because that particular Muslim you pushed onto the railway track was innocent. They didn’t do anything nor did they believe in terrorism. If you do something like this, you are telling people that you are just like ISIS. Although you may not part of ISIS, you are doing the same thing that they are.

A debate is going on in the United States of America: does ISIS really have nothing to do with Islam?

Every time an atrocity takes place by Islamists, peaceful Muslims, Sufi Muslims, and law abiding Muslims of different countries condemn the terrorist activities. Their statement has to include one sentence, ‘ISIS is not a Muslim organisation and they are not Muslims.’

If you are not a Muslim and you see what ISIS is doing, you will say to yourself, ‘They are holding the Quran. They are growing beards. They talk about Sharia. They are called the  “Islamic State.” How come they are not Muslims?’

This is a big question. There is an article in the Washington Post titled, ‘Does ISIS really have nothing to do with Islam? Islamic apologetics carry serious risks.’

In the article, the author said what he could think of as a common man who does not have spiritual knowledge or profound insight into the religion; one who is not well aware of the history of Islam or what happened 1400 years ago. He may have a very limited approach towards understanding this topic.

However, to say, ‘ISIS has nothing to do with Islam,’ is a sentence that needs a lot of explanation.

Although I have used this sentence myself and I have also said that ISIS in reality has nothing to do with Islam, what I said is very profound and technical.

For example, all Muslims go to the mosque and offer prayers. If a Muslim goes to a mosque five times a day to offer prayers and I say, ‘He doesn’t offer prayers,’ people will say, ‘We have seen him offering prayers at the mosque.’ In order to justify my statement, I say, ‘I know he goes to the mosque and offers prayers five times a day. But I also know what Prophet Mohammad said about Salat (prayers).’

‘There is no Salat if the heart is absent from the Salat.’ – Prophet Mohammad

If a person does not have the presence of the heart in Salat, God doesn’t accept it; in the eyes of God, he never offered Salat. His Salat is not qualified to be known as Salat; therefore, technically we can say he is a non-Musali (one who offers Salat).

‘Destruction is for those who offer Salat and are not aware of the reality of Salat. When they go to the mosque and stand in Salat they are only making a scene; they show off.’

Quran, (107:4-6)

Individuals who offer Salat yet are not aware of reality of Salat are doomed; their religion is destroyed.

I mentioned in the beginning that I have also made a statement such as, ‘ISIS has nothing to do with Islam.’ There are people who say, ‘How come? They are holding the Quran in their hands, they are growing beards. They want to impose Islamic Sharia; they have already occupied a greater part of Syria and Iraq. They have already established an Islamic State. They are doing everything according to the Quran but you say they are not Muslim.’

Without explanation, it remains to be pretty dubious. Oftentimes common people do not seek profound explanation; they simply say, ‘Their inspiration is coming from the Quran and they are doing everything for establishment of Sharia Law.’

The reason I say, ‘They are not Muslim,’ is very technical. They may be Muslims in your eyes; but they are not Muslims in the eyes of Islam or God.

You can safely say ISIS has everything to do with Islam – this is how you understand it. But if you ask the Quran, if you ask God, then you will understand that these individuals do not follow the Quran.

Mischief of ISIS
They talk about Islamic Sharia but they do not follow Islamic Sharia.

Most of these ‘warriors of God are those who do not even know one verse from the Quran.

A Christian family were fleeing Syria. They were born and bred there; they recited the Bible in Arabic. They were travelling in their car and were stopped by ISIS thugs. The ISIS members asked them, ‘What is your religion?’ The father replied, ‘I am Muslim.’ They asked him to recite the Quran; he recited the Bible and they let him go!

If you apply these technical points that I am talking about on each and every Muslim, whether that Muslim is a terrorist or peace-loving citizen, that person will be screened as non-Muslim. Now it’s easy to say, ‘ISIS has nothing to do with Islam because Islam doesn’t exist.’

This was the technical side.  On the other hand, there is a Prophetic Tradition (Hadith) according to which you will have to admit that ISIS is a Muslim organisation. It is a long Hadith but I’ll give you a few sentences.

Prophet Mohammad said, ‘A time will come on my Nation (Ummah) when nothing will be left in Islam for except its name. Nothing will be left in Quran for except the practice of reciting it.’ Prophet Mohammad talks about the mosques of this time. ‘Their mosques will be beautiful but they will be void of guidance. They will recite Quran but the Quran will not go beyond their throats.’

Then, Prophet Mohammad talks about ISIS. He said, ‘Mischief (fitna) will emerge from within Islam.’ This proves that they are Muslim. ISIS is mischief.

Prophet Mohammad said, ‘This mischief will emerge from within Islam and within Islam, this mischief will come to an end.’ This is interesting.

It means, this mischief of ISIS has emerged from Islam and somebody from within Islam will stand up and he will terminate this mischief of ISIS. It is referred to Imam Mehdi (as).

This Prophetic Tradition in particular tells us that ISIS recite the Kalima (Declaration of Faith) and the Quran, though it does not go beyond their throats. Although they are severely misguided, Prophet Mohammad has already mentioned that these are the people who, as mischief, will emerge from within his Ummah. They will be the worst creatures under the sky (Khwarijeen).

This is written on the wall. What is happening now is exactly what the Prophet foretold 1400 years ago.

One of the signs of the end of the world was the fire which would rise from Syria. You can see that fire today.

Prophet Mohammad spoke about the state of Muslims towards the end of the world, saying ‘Nothing will be left in the Quran for except the ritualistic recitation and nothing will be left in Islam for except its name.’

As I mentioned earlier, Islam does not exist. We only have Islam’s name. Everybody is creating stories and declaring the source as Quran. This mischief of Al-Qaeda, Taliban and Daesh (ISIS) is the mischief that Prophet Mohammad had already foretold. The good news is Prophet Mohammad said this mischief would rise from within Islam and it will come to an end within Islam. We are going through this horrific phase of time.

I think we should raise awareness of what was foretold in regards to the events leading to the end of the world. These facts should be known by almost everybody who lives in this world: by Christians, by Jews, by Hindus, etc. so they should have a clear understanding of what’s going on.

To European Muslims – Advice for Aftermath of Paris Attacks
16th November 2015|Articles

To European Muslims – Advice for Aftermath of Paris Attacks

We are passing through the most turbulent times in history. All those who love peace and humanity; who are able to be tolerant to other faiths; who live and let others live in peace; who want to promote peace, I request them to get involved in the peace process. All these individuals who come from Islam need to be a little more knowledgeable about their religion so that they can understand their religion does not promote terrorism.

Whichever groups within Islam invite them to such unholy causes as jihad, with the weapon of knowledge, Muslims should be able to reject all such ideas.

The foremost thing for everybody in Islam is to be able to be knowledgeable. What the Muslim youth lacks today is true knowledge of their religion.

There is a Hadith of the Prophet Mohammad whereby he said, ‘Towards the end times, the religion of Islam will be confined and limited to its name only. The Quran will be limited to its words only. Young boys will become scholar; they will enter into vigorous physical worship.’

‘Even my companions do not worship that vigorously – however the Quran will not go beyond their throats. Their mosques will be fancy and decorated, however they will be null and void of guidance. Mischief will emerge from within them; and within them, mischief will die out. Under the sky, they will be the worst of all creation.’

This Prophetic Tradition, if applied to ISIS, gives us a clear understanding of what ISIS is.

They are unholy, they are un-Islamic; they do not follow the Quran or Traditions of the Prophet. And they call themselves ‘pure Muslims’ – they are pure filth! They are not Muslims.

It is time for all Muslims to recognise these terrorists as terrorists. Open your eyes. Don’t be fooled by these enemies of the community of Islam and enemies of humanity.

What they are doing today is not just abhorred in the eyes of civil society; it is abhorred in the eyes of God. God loves his creation more than 70 mothers combined can love a child. You are not pleasing God when you‘re killing innocent people.

Suicide is strictly prohibited (haram) in Islam. No matter how devout a Muslim you are, in the end, if you commit suicide you’re destined to enter into hellfire. This is undebatable. All schools of thought in Islam have no choice but to agree to this Tradition of the Prophet.

When by committing suicide you will go to hell, how can you justify blowing up yourself and causing dozens of people to die?

When taking your own life is not allowed, how can you take lives of others? This is not just a wrong interpretation; it is being done on purpose, knowingly. They are just using the name of Islam.

I would like you to understand the true message of the Quran and the Traditions of the Prophet.

Prophet Mohammad would not enter into a war with people who were not enemies of his religion. If a jihad was initiated by the Prophet himself, that jihad was done in self defence. It was not in assault mode.

Even then, Prophet Mohamamd strictly instructed his Companions, ‘Do not kill the elderly. Do not kill the sick ones. Do not kill a child or woman, do not cut a tree. Do not destroy a building. Do not destroy a church, or temple.’ These were the instructions for a legitimate war.

What Taliban, Al-Qaeda and Daesh are doing today is not legitimate. This is the true definition of atrocity. This is mass murder, slaughter and carnage of humanity.

This is the organised butchery of humankind.

They are not just destroying buildings and churches. How can you call them Muslims? In Syria and Iraq, they blew away graves of prophets. Prophet Younus’ shrine was bombarded. Do you still think they are Muslims? All Muslims must show respect to all prophets sent by God and they are destroying shrines of the prophets.

They are not Muslims. Do not join them. Condemn them. Expose them! We need to raise awareness of their true reality.

People should be aware of the truth. People should know who ISIS and Taliban are. They do not represent Islam. Whatever doctrine comes from them under the label of Islam is not even 1% of Islam. They are filthy animals, butchers. They are murderers. Their acts and themselves must be condemned!

This is my message to the Muslim youth in Europe:

Remain vigilant. Show your solidarity with the government of your country so that they may be proud of you as a Muslim. Let them say, ‘We have true Muslims living in our country who detest the terrorists.’

Make your countrymen proud of you and your association with Islam. I tell you: Islam is not what ISIS is telling you. True Islam is Sufi Islam: love for all, hatred for none.

The Paris Attacks – What Now?
16th November 2015|Articles

The Paris Attacks – What Now?

The Paris Attacks – What Now?

I am speaking in the wake of the tragic event which took place in Paris whereby 129 people were killed by the enemies of humanity, ISIS.

The mission of Messiah Foundation International is the mission of global peace and love.

We are in dire need today to promote ideologies of love and peace. Today, we need spirituality and love not religions. We do not need extremism or fanaticism.

Terrorism is the result of fanaticism and extremism.

Those who are carrying out these atrocities all over the world are the ones who follow the wrong interpretation of the religion. Not only this, but at the same time they have entwined their personal agenda and carnal desires with the wrong interpretation of the religion. As a result of this, they have now become a global threat.

The peace of the world is at a greater risk. Innocent people are being killed all over the world and now in Europe as well.

It is not just the government who will take care of this issue. Every single citizen of the world has a role to play. The first and foremost that one is to play today is to be able to recognise the roots of terrorism

You must be aware of the source and motivation from which this brutal ideology of terrorism is emerging.

Terrorism has no religion. Those who are carrying out these atrocities are the people, the master of whom is their own desires and their own evil self.

No religion on earth taught terrorism. The core of every religion is divine love.

When a religion ceases to provide its followers with divine love, that religion does not exist anymore.

Terrorism has been found in almost every religion once the religion has been deprived of the spiritual touch.

The Role of Spirituality Today

Today as we live in fear and uncertainty, I think we should turn to spirituality. Through spiritual knowledge and practice, we should be able to empower our connection with God. We should be able to empower our souls. We should be able to awaken the spiritual love in the chambers of our heart.

It is very easy to say, ‘Love God, love your neighbour,’ but had it been that easy, everybody would have been able to do it.

His Divine Eminence Lord Ra Riaz Gohar shahi has given a spiritual application, a practical methodology and a unique doctrine in the presence of which one will not need any religion to follow.

It is a mystical methodology which will empower your heart with divine love and positive energy. Once your heart becomes the powerhouse of positive energy, you will recognise love. Then whosoever possess divine love in the heart will be friends with you.

You will recognise those also who are looting and plundering innocents and who are carrying out massacre and carnage of innocent people.

The Responsibility of the Public

Every single individual will have to play a role in combatting the evil ISIS. It is not Islam who promoted terrorism; it is the people who claim to represent Islam; however, they do not follow Islam.

Islam is not a threat; what threatens the global peace today is the presence of ISIS and likewise organisations who promote terrorism.

At the same time, it is not just ISIS that the world communities will have to fight against. Somebody is working behind the walls who is the sponsor that supports ISIS and all other terrorist organisations in the world financially, ideologically and morally.

I was tweeting about the Paris Attacks. I was completely taken aback when I saw that many Twitter IDs were celebrating the massacre of innocent human beings. They are those who support terrorists.

You have to remain vigilant. You must know who is living next door. You must know who you are with. You should know what they practise and what their belief system is.

If you sit at home quietly and you take it for granted that the government will do something about it, then I am afraid that one day, you will become a target.

unite-and-eradicate-isis

Let the government do what the government is doing, but as an individual you will have to participate in at least recognising these animals, these enemies of society and humanity.

The Role of the Government

One of the people who attacked on Paris was a French boy who recently was released from jail. In the jail, he was radicalised.

We have to see what is going in prisons in France and other countries of Europe.

We have to watch out for anyone who may be preaching hatred in the prisons.

We have to keep an eye on all the inmates in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada. We need to know what is happening in the mosques and in other places of worship.

We have to stop this ideology of hate preaching. This ideology of hate preaching turns into radicalisation.

There must be a ban on hate preaching [and we must understand what constitutes as hate preaching].

Somebody may talk about the Quran and Ahadith and say, ‘We are not hate preaching, we are simply propagating our religion.’ But we must infiltrate somebody who knows the religion.

We need someone who can tell [those unfamiliar with Islam] whether or not, under the banner of the religion, the interpretation of the Quran being given to people is that of radicalisation.

In order to stop brutal killing of innocent people all over the world, the world leaders must sit together come up with a global strategy.  The entire community should stand united and combat the evil ISIS.

In Wake of The #ParisAttacks – Message to British Muslim Community
16th November 2015|Articles

In Wake of The #ParisAttacks – Message to British Muslim Community

The following is a transcript of Younus AlGohar’s speech.

Commenting on subjects is not enough. Individuals from around the world need to get involved. Getting involved does not require from one to come out with a weapon on the street and attack your enemies.

The first enemy is ignorance. When you know about your enemy, you can prepare yourself against them.

The problem of the world today is people do not know the roots of ISIS or terrorism. People generalise and say, ‘All Muslims are terrorists.’ But this is not true.

I would like to say very specifically: no Muslim is a terrorist. These terrorists are faking their identity. You know them to be Muslims; however, they are not Muslims. They have distorted the image of Islam.

The Quran equates one murder to elimination of the whole of humanity.

Committing suicide is strictly prohibited in Islam. It is not rocket science to comprehend whether or not suicide bombing is allowed in Islam.

According to Prophet Mohammad, ‘One who commits suicide, all his good deeds are wasted and he is destined to enter into hellfire.’

I cannot understand how on Earth these individuals who are waging a war against innocent human beings come up with an idea of declaring a prohibited act to be a gateway to heaven.

Even if you were a Companion of the Prophet himself and you fought for protection of the religion, however in the end if you committed suicide, all your deeds are wasted. Your association with the Prophet will be greatly ignored and you will be paving your way to hellfire.

When suicide is prohibited in Islam, how can suicide bombing be allowed or rewarding? These individuals, under the banner of Islam, are making fools out of people by hammering in their brains an ideology based on lust, carnal desires and hunger for power.

When they tell them, ‘If you blow up yourself, there are 70 damsels waiting for you in paradise,’ they are blaspheming the religion. They are distorting the words of God and the Traditions of the Prophet.

If you blow up yourself and cause others to die with you, you enter into hellfire, not into heaven. Don’t think 70 damsels are waiting for you. Millions of angels are waiting for you so that they can punish and torment you.

This is absolutely a misleading ideology. What is prohibited in Islam is now being regarded as rewarding and a gateway to heaven. This is pitiful.

Many Muslims in France are coming forward and condemning the attacks. It is a good gesture. However, I request Muslims in the United Kingdom also to do the same. Become part of British society.

Come forward. They should not just condemn this brutal act of terrorism but ISIS; at they need to show their solidarity with British people. They are living on this land; they must treat this land as their heaven!

According to a Tradition of Prophet Mohammad, ‘Love for your country is part of your faith (emaan).’

I live in England. Love for England should be part of my faith; if someone else lives in Canada, love for Canada should be part of their faith. It being part of your faith does not mean you are going to worship your country.

It means you are loyal to your country and you will do everything to ensure your country is well protected by you.

All Muslims who live in the United Kingdom should come forward show their solidarity. This is how they are going to integrate into British society.

You are well integrated into British society when a white Scottish man, Welshman or Englishman is free to talk to you and is not intimidated by your presence.

If somebody is intimidated by your presence, it simply means you are not integrated into British society. Follow your religion; if you don’t want to consume alcohol or eat pork, that is not a problem. These things do not stop you from becoming part of British society.

I do not drink alcohol and I do not eat pork but I love England. I will do everything to protect this country. I am morally, financially indebted to the country. It is because of British citizenship that I was able to move in the world freely. I should be grateful to the state of the United Kingdom, we should be grateful. We should pay our homage.

All these Muslims who live in this country should come forward, condemn this act, condemn ISIS. Say how you feel about ISIS. Talk about how bad they are, how ugly they are, how brutal and how anti-Islam they are.

This must be done to be seen so that the youth get a clear message that ISIS is evil and they should not become part of this brutal, evil organisation.

Younus AlGohar on the Paris Attacks

The transcript of Younus AlGohar’s statement:

From the desk of Messiah Foundation International, I am requesting all leaders of the world to make an alliance. With a combined force, they must finish ISIS.

Almost fourteen years ago, when New York was under attack and the twin towers fell and more than 5 000 people died, the United States of America formed an alliance and attacked Afghanistan [in a campaign] against the Taliban. But to be honest with you, ISIS is doing more damage to the international communities than historically the Taliban has done.

When an alliance had been formed to defeat the anti human organisation of the Taliban, I wonder why the international community is quiet. The United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Japan and all other developed countries should combine forces and crush ISIS. This is the need of the time. You have no time to waste.

The government should take this step: forming an alliance and combatting these evils of ISIS and the Taliban. Thank you so much.

Further comments from Younus AlGohar:

The world leaders should unite against ISIS and their supporters now. A united assault should be carried out against the evil ISIS. In the vast interest of humanity and its safety, it seems to be crucial now that the West resolve the issues with Russia and unite all allies against the filthy ISIS.

How a Fanatic Compares to a Lover of God

How a Fanatic Compares to a Lover of God

How a Fanatic Compares to a Lover of God

The following is an excerpt from a speech delivered by Younus AlGohar.

Fanaticism

Messiah Foundation International has come up with a diagnostic solution of ongoing global terrorism. We understand that the reason behind this global terrorism today is the radicalisation from a certain denomination in Islam.

In the era before 9/11, such individuals were known as fundamentalists. ‘Fundamentalism’ is a term that was coined by a think tank in Western society to refer to people who strictly follow the religion and disapprove of Western values.

Then, from fundamentalism, they took a big leap to extremism.

Fanaticism is the cogitation in which people become so obsessed with their religious beliefs that they become irrational. This comes with brainwashing.

I watched a movie in which there were two women in love with one man. One was a calm character and the other was very hyper; by hook or crook, she wanted to be with her beloved. When she found out that her beloved loved someone else, she took to physically harming him.

When you don’t manage to obtain what you want, you lose sanity and you become irrational; this is the state in which you become a fanatic.

True Love of God

For example, no prophet or messenger – not even God – has given this creation a more sublime knowledge than what Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi has given to us, His followers. There is no truth in comparison to the truth that has been presented by Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi. There is no group of people in this world, in any religion or spiritual order who love their Master more than members of MFI do.

According to neo-spiritual principles of the Western society today, we perfectly fit into the personality cult regime. However, we have not lost sanity and we have not become irrational.

This is because the teachings of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi are a beautiful combination of the Exterior Knowledge and Interior Knowledge.

On one hand, the teachings of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi connect hearts of the masses with divinity. On the other hand, the teachings of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi connect a human being with another upon the principles of equity, mutual love, societal harmony and mutual respect for every single human soul on Earth.

If you ask Hindus, they think they are the best nation on Earth; they think Muslims are impure. If you ask Jews, they think they are the best. If you ask Muslims, they think the truth for the first time was brought by Prophet Mohammad; they believe the pre-Islamic era was full of darkness, infidelity and sorcery. However, they also admit the fact that Prophet Mohammad was the last of all the prophets and messengers – which clearly indicates the fact that there had been more than 124,000 prophets. Most definitely, these prophets were designated and anointed by the same God who sent Prophet Mohammad. The knowledge they brought upon their groups would have come from the same God. Even so, Muslims believe that Jews, Hindus, Sikhs and Christians are infidels; they think they are the best.

We also say the same but we are not fanatics. We are not extremists and we do not hate. We love everybody. We love Hindus, we love Christians, and we love Jews – because we want everybody to become the best. We are not playing a game. It is not as if we are in a business where I become a billionaire and my counterpart goes bankrupt.

If any religion, group of people or faith practises Exterior Knowledge only and are naive to knowledge of spirituality, then they will eventually become hateful.

A Muslim boy in India was killed because he was eating beef. They said, ‘He was eating beef, so he must die.’ That’s terrible. He is eating beef according to the allowance set forth by his religion. Hindus regard cows to be sacred; they may practise their belief, but if someone wants to eat beef, then let him. For example, Muslims do not eat pork. However, when we go to United Arab Emirates, we see restaurants serving pork. When Muslims should not eat pig, they don’t eat it; but they don’t stop others. Go by the rules and regulations of your religion and let others go by the rules and regulations of their religion.

It is very interesting to note that in the Religion of God (Divine Love) by Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi, He said, ‘All these religions think they are the best. A Hindu says he is the best. A Muslim says he is the best. A Jew says he is the best and a Christian says he is the best. But Gohar Shahi says, “The best among all of you is one who has God’s love in his heart even if he doesn’t practise any religion.”’

The best among you is one whose heart is filled with God’s love. When you heart is filled with God’s love, you do not hurt or harm anybody, and this will show that you are the best. How can you consider yourself the best if you are causing distress to every single human being on Earth and spreading terrorism? If people have become uneasy because of your existence, are living in fear and are scared?

The best is one who benefits all; whose existence on earth is benefitting all human beings and everybody is safe by him.

Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi said, ‘It’s not about being the best; it’s about loving God or not loving God. If you love God, you will love humanity. If you don’t love God you will not love humanity.’

Whether you practise a religion or not, it doesn’t really matter. The truth is, only the religious people do not love humanity. Those who practise religion [rigidly] don’t love humanity and those who do not believe in religions – even atheists – are helping poor people. They don’t hurt anybody or harm anybody. I doubt that God would want to love somebody who practises his religion but hates humanity – as opposed to somebody who says, ‘I don’t believe in God,’ but at the same time, he is helping a lot of people on Earth.

Such people have a belief system and in believing in all those principle universal truths set by God, no change is seen in them; [rather] their character worsens. Not only do they hate humanity, but they have become so intolerant that they do not want to see any other sect or group of people with a different set of beliefs on Earth. This is extreme intolerance; they cannot coexist with other religious people.

His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi said, ‘It doesn’t matter whether you believe in a religion or you don’t believe in it. Learn to love God; that’s what matters.’

Religions have set limitations. A Hindu will befriend another Hindu and a Muslim will befriend another Muslim.

When someone has liberated themselves from the limitations of the religion and are now focused on acquiring God’s love, then they will befriend anybody who wants to acquire and obtain divine love.

Obtaining divine love does not come by listening to lectures. These lectures will give you some knowhow of the path; however, you will manage to learn to love God only when you are initiated on to the Spiritual Path, when your souls are awakened and nurtured with the divine light and proximity of the Spiritual Guide.
